SANFORD — Literacy Volunteers of Greater Sanford (LVGS) raised $3,100 during its annual trivia night at the Sanford Town Club on Jan. 18. The amount is 50 percent more than the organization raised last year.

LVGS will use the money to support its mission of fostering and promoting literacy throughout the community.

A total of 110 people competing on 16 teams participated in the trivia tournament and answered questions about history, entertainment, local issues, geography and other topics.

Sanford Parks and Recreation Director Marcel Blouin emceed the event for the fourth year in a row. The Sanford-Springvale Rotary Club, Kennebunk Savings and Sanford Institution for Savings all sponsored the event.

“We are very grateful for such strong community support,” LVGS Executive Director Ingrid Baily said in the organization’s recent newsletter.
